⚠️ Caution if your having problems on claim up, its not suitable place. Because this place located in top of small hill.. Carry water bottles or food if u needed. On the bay you don't get anything. Apart from that, wonderful historical place to visit. It's basically jain thirthankaraa located top of that hill. Also we can see Statue of bagavathatii Amman.

Good place to spend half a day with family. As one has to ascend nearly a kilometer to reach the place, this place is not recommended for aged peoples. The place is well maintained and there are small shops for water, cool drink and snacks. They are charging 40 rupees for car parking.

Opens 8am to 6pm and entry closes at 4pm Enough parking space Very calm and beautiful place.

Nice and calm place to visit

April 2022, visited with family. Reached around 7:30 and waited till8:00(opening time), it was not crowded at that time.Best time is to visit in the morning.not many shops around, only some small shops selling basic things.public toilet was not operational.worth a detour if you are travelling towards Kanyakumari

You have to claim steps to a certain distance , carry water bottles. The place is well maintained , a good spot

Visited in the morning hours...they'll open only at 8 am...if we enter at 8 in the morning, there'll be a cool atmosphere all around ..you have to walk 1km uphill along a rock paved path... Stone benches are kept for resting in btwn if you need...While on top you can enjoy a very calm and quiet area ...and the view is refreshing...the place is well maintained...ample parking facilities with parking ticket charges of Rs.40 for a car..no ticket for entering other than this..better to go on working days.
